Long time, no blog :)

Oh okay. It's been forever since i've done this. So much has happened!! Where to start?

Well, first off, we had to postpone the wedding. It sucked!!! I was so upset. But it was my fault, so I really couldn't complain. Let's just say anything that could possible go wrong did. Within 7 days, my life got so messed up. I never knew so many bad things could happen in such a short time! Anyway, we have moved on and things are looking up again. Thank goodness. I think we have set a tentative date for November 14th. It's just going to be family this time. I don't want to have to send out invites again. We decided to have just family for the wedding and then after the first of the year, we'll have a big party for everyone. Hopefully, nothing will go wrong this time!! Can I just say that I have the best, most supportive, most wonderful, most incredible man EVER!! I just love him to pieces!

I guess the next thing is I've joined weight watchers. I want to loose at least 60 lbs (80lbs is my ultimate goal). I have gained so much weight over these last few years, I can't stand it anymore! I started last Monday, and so far so good. I did my first weigh in this morning and I lost one pound!! Not a lot, but for me that's great!! I'm really excited. Pray that I keep on track! It's going to be hard.

That's about it. I'm kinda boring. But I guess that's a good thing.

Life and Such

Where to begin? Well, Hollice and I went to my family reunion last Saturday. I was very proud of my family. This was their first time meeting Hollice. Let me explain. My family is from two very little towns in North Carolina. They were raised a little differently. I was worried that they would be rude or mean to Hollice. But everyone was very nice. Hollice said he's never gotten that many hugs at one time before. I was so relieved. It was a long day, though. We got up at 430 am to drive to Durham and then left about 430 pm to go back home.
On a weird note, I found out that I'm adopted. Well, sorta. My mom had me really young and her and my grandparents were afraid that my real dad was going to steal me and take me to Germany. (His family was army and they were being transferred) So, in order to protect me, my grandparents adopted me. Not only for that reason, but to help my mom. She was still in high school and this gave them a chance to put me on their insurance and help pay for stuff. It's kinda odd. I mean, I don't care. I think it's really great that they would do that. But I'm an strange person who thinks strange things. Like, legally, my mom is also my sister. And my brother's are not only my brother's but my nephews. Wow. We really are from the south!
Anyway, the wedding plans are going smoothly. Only two more weeks!! We still have not found a place to live. We are looking hard, but nothing yet.
Oh, yeah. I got locked inside my car the other day. I know, I know. Only me. My window came off track and was upside down. And my driver's side door wouldn't open. I took it to the dealership today and they fixed it. Thank goodness. It's very annoying to get in and out the passenger side.

I will leave you with a pic of Hollice and my grandmother/mom.

Condo's and Flat tires

Wow. It's been a really long time since I wrote anything. Let's see...where to start? We found a condo. It is so perfect. 2 stories, 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms. It's just what we've been looking for. We had an appointment to meet with the renters. I had just gotten on 664 when my tire blew. I was so upset. I had to leave her a message telling her that I needed to reschedule because I was stuck on the side of the road. She hasn't called me back yet. I am so disappointed. Hopefully she will call me back.

This weekend we went to my manager's wedding. It was so beautiful but HOT! She had the wedding and reception at the Mariner's Museum. The wedding was outside and there was no breeze.


This is picture of us at my house before the wedding. We had a lot of fun. It did get kind of annoying though. Everyone kept asking us "You're next. You nervous yet?" or " Are you taking notes?" We got so irritated when they wouldn't stop.

Hollice's aunt is going to make our wedding cake which is such a blessing!! She's only going to charge us $200!! That is so awesome.





This is me and Nicolas at Noah's surprise birthday party. It was so cute. Anyway, I think that's it for now! The countdown is on!!! Only a few more weeks until W day!!!!

Fun and Stressful

We will start with fun times. Hollice and I went to Water Country on Saturday. We had so much fun!!! Neither one of us have been in a loooonnnggg time, and we had a blast. We were like two little kids!
This is a picture of 4th of July weekend, while we were on our friends boat. This is Kamryn, my friends two year old. She fell in love with Hollice...or should I say her "Wallace". It was so cute. All day she kept s
aying "my Wallace". Sooo adorable!
I also got the ring bearer pillow and flower girl basket.












I think they will look so cute!!

Okay, on to stressful. We still have so much to do and not nearly enough time! I am getting so nervous that we won't finish everything in time. We still don't have a place to live, we haven't finished the invitations (mainly because someone won't give me stupid names and addresses....like I'm just supposed to know these things). I still need to get the wedding party gifts together, order the wedding favors, and so much more!! AAAHHHH! I really keep thinking that we should have eloped like we had originally planned. Hollice is so sweet. He just keeps telling me that everything will be fine, and we will get everything done. I just love him so much. Anyway, that's enough complaining. Have a great week!!

Almost done!!

Well, we are almost done with our invitations. YAY!! We mailed out most of them. We still have to do our families, then we are done! WOO HOO!! Thank goodness! I can't believe that the wedding is like two months away. There is still so much to do, but we are working on it. I know everything will be perfect. And I have the best fiancee in the world. He is so involved. No matter what I need, he is right there, doing whatever needs to be done. He is so wonderful! We got the ring bearer pillow and flower girl basket this weekend. They are so cute! They are both white and the pillow has a black ribbon around it with a bow in the front. The basket has two black bows on each side. Noah and Haleigh are going to look so adorable! I cannot wait until this wedding. It is so exciting!

This past weekend was July 4th. We had so much fun! We went out on our friends boat. Neither one of had ever been on a boat before, so we were kinda nervous. It rained for a little while, then cleared up. It was the best! It was so relaxing. We had so much fun, we are going back out with them next weekend! Anyway, I hope everyone had a wonderful and safe July 4th! Have a great week!!

Tendinitis

So, my wrist has been hurting for about a month now, and I finally went to the doctor. I have tendinitis. It sucks. It hurts so bad. But hopefully, with the brace they gave me, it will start to feel better. Okay, enough whining. So, this weekend is July 4th. I think we are going out on our friends boat Friday. Hang out on the water, watch the fire works. Should be fun! I can't wait! I love when I get long weekends. Hopefully, we can have a nice, relaxing weekend. Hollice and I really need to get our invitations in the mail. I guess we will do that this weekend.

In other news, my brother is thinking about joining the Coast Guard. I am so excited for him! He took the asvab on Tuesday, and hopefully will find out when he can go up to MEPS on Monday. I really hopes he does this. He needs it. He really needs to grow up and find direction in his life.

Hollice and I still have not found out about the townhouse we applied for. I am getting so frustrated...but at the same time, I am so nervous. It really hit me this week. I am really moving on, and getting married. It scared me to death! I know most people get cold feet, but I never thought I would. I really don't think it's "cold feet". I just think that it's a little staggering, thinking that I am really starting all over again. What if I'm a bad wife? What if I don't make him happy? I know that's crazy, but sometimes I can't help but get scared. Anyway, I know that I just need to put all these feelings to God, and everything will fall into place.

So, have a wonderful 4th to anyone who reads this!!

Impatientness

Hollice and I applied for a townhouse this weekend. It is really nice, and would be perfect for us. I called yesterday and they told me to call back today at 11am and they could tell me if we were approved or not. So I call, and of course, it's not ready. So the lady told me to call back at 2pm. I called at 230 and they weren't there! I left a message, but I am so impatient. I am so sick of apartment hunting! I just wish that they would call!!

Okay, I am done complaining now. But seriously, be praying for us to find a nice place to live. We only have 2 monthes left to look. Have a great week!!
